Well, the purpose of this blog - which was to act as a sort of digital archive for some of my personal bits and pieces - seems to be covered pretty well by my Facebook account. Plus the people who might actually be interested in my old photos get to see them (if they're a "friend" and I tag them, of course...)

Model rail madness

The whole tale will be told here on B B Beyer's blog (that's me).

Somebody might actually read this one...

It was 20 years ago today...

...well, near enough. Despite dire warnings of further floods, and only an hour's rehearsal in two decades, the original line up of Beyond Therapy convened in a marquee "somewhere in Sussex" to play a secret one-off gig as promised for their ever-loyal fans (thanks, Jean and Brian!). No doubt in years to come, the number of people claiming to have been at this re-uniting of one of mid-Sussex's greatest heavy metal bands of the late 1980s will be greater than those who reckon they saw the Sex Pistols at the 100 Club in '76. But no matter, those who were there were treated to a special appearance by founder member Dave Etheridge-Barnes (far left) on lead guitar and "tasty cakes", giving the band a triple-guitar attack to rival Iron Maiden.

If only we'd agreed what parts we were all playing!

"Text from Mulligan - he's running late. Something about about having to re-shoot three old codgers sliding down a country lane in a bathtub"

"Ah, here he is. I remember him being taller, don't you?"

"Guess where this finger's been?"

And for those of you who weren't there, here's a look at what you missed:




If we leave it another 20 years, I’ll be 60!

F**king hell…

Up your arse...

...with a backstage pass.

Metal legends to re-form for summer 2007 show

Bands re-forming, eh? Is it the the money (as it certainly was for the Pistols on their 'Filthy Lucre' tour in '96)? Or are they simply trying to relive their younger, sexier heyday? They're all at it again this year: The Police, Genesis, Sabbath/Dio (aka 'Heaven & Hell'), three quarters of Van Halen... er, the Jam without Weller, anyone??

Well, there's another reason to rock and roll in 2007: that mid-Sussex metal machine 'Beyond Therapy' will be lighting up the live stage for the first time since 1988. (L to R) Powerhouse drummer Dan Mulligan, front man/rythym guitarist Gary Masters, virtuoso lead axeman Jon Piercy, and rock steady bassist Mark Piercy, will be performing a set of Therapy classics including 'The Schizoid Man' and 'The Shadow of Fear' at an outdoor venue to be confirmed (if wet, in village hall). Tickets are strictly limited to the number we can sell or give away.

Mark has promised an even more spectacular lighting rig than the legendary 'two Mini headlights screwed to a plank of wood between Dan's bass drums' which gave Motorhead's bomber and Saxon's eagle such a run for their money at the time.



Beyond Therapy: Live. But still brain dead.
